District of West Vancouver has received detailed structural engineering designs for the repairs required for the Ambleside Pier and the floating dock at the Dundarave Pier. Depending on budget approvals and permit requirements, the piers could potentially be open for public use in late July to early August 2023. Dundarave Park is one of the most visited parks in West Vancouver. It has more than 50 metres of wide sandy beach and nearly a hectare of waterfront access. It’s also where the Centennial Seawalk begins.
